Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has asserted that the state belongs to no single individual, emphasizing that he would not sacrifice everything, including his personal well-being, in the name of loyalty.
The governor spoke on Sunday at a thanksgiving service in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, while addressing the congregants at St. Paul’s Cathedral of the Anglican Communion.
Fubara said “I cannot give my kidney” to prove his loyalty to Wike, adding that the FCT minister is desperate for recognition.
“Nobody can apologise for me. As a matter of fact, I belong to that school of thought that if I am the only person that needs to stand on that side of right, I will stand there. I don’t need anybody to stand with me. I cannot give my kidney or liver to anybody. I won’t. If that is the only reason for me to be loyal, I will not be,” Fubara said.
“But I will not do the wrong thing. I will stand for the side of the right. I will stand with the truth for Rivers people. That is my commitment today. I will not mortgage my kidney or my liver. So, don’t worry about that because I know that is what they do because they can’t talk.

“If it has to take my kidney, then I will honourably just go back to my wife then we will manage ourselves. But I will not give my kidney. What is important is to protect this state. It does not belong to anyone. Rivers state is nobody’s enterprise. So, you have to stand strong.
Fubara further added that, “God has a reason for allowing the devil or the evil one to stay long. It is not that he can’t take him or take them away but he gives them time to repent. And when they continue, he (God) will come heavily, and then, they would say, it would have been better we had left when they had time.
“That will be our story in this state. But, you see, anybody that is making noise for recognition, it is a sign that he has lost it. By the special grace of God, I don’t need an introduction. I have the name, and I am the one standing here.”
